have you ever experienced the

communication flare of someone who

painted a picture in words that both

inspired you and clarified how to

achieve an objective leadership means

communicating with others in such a way

that they're influenced and motivated to

perform actions and further common goals

that lead toward desired outcomes

communication and leadership is a

process by which information and

understanding are transferred between a

sender and a receiver such as between a

leader and an employee an instructor and

a student or a coach and a player

a leader can be seen as a communication

champion a communication champion is

grounded in the belief that

communication is essential to building

trust and gaining commitment to the

vision and strategy leaders use

communication to unite people around a

common sense of purpose and identify and

ensure that the vision and strategy are

deeply understood and accepted a

strategic conversation refers to people

talking across boundaries and

hierarchical levels about a group or

organizations vision
critical strategic themes and the values

that help achieve desired outcomes

leaders facilitate strategic

conversations by one asking questions

and actively listening to others to

setting the agenda for conversations by

understanding key strategic themes that

are linked to organizational success and

three selecting the right communication

channels for facilitating dialogue open

communication means sharing all types of

information throughout the organization

especially across functional and

hierarchical boundaries open

communication runs counter to the

traditional flow of selective

information downward from supervisors to

subordinates good leaders want

communication to flow in all directions

communication across traditional

boundaries enables leaders to hear what

followers have to say which means the

organization gains the benefit of all

employees minds managers typically think

they should be the people with the right

answers leadership though is more about

being the person

with the right questions many leaders

indeed most people in general are


unaware of the amazing power of

questions in our society were

conditioned to come up with answers just

as important as asking good questions is

listening to the responses hearing is

easy but listening is hard listening

involves the skill of grasping and

interpreting a message genuine meaning

effective listening is engaged listening

good leaders get out of their offices

and mingle with others ask questions set

up listening forums where people can say

whatever is on their minds and provide

feedback to let people know that they've

been heard research has attempted to

explain how leaders select communication

channels to enhance communication

effectiveness studies have found that

channels differ in their capacity to

convey information channel richness is

about the information that can be

transmitted during a communication

episode the richness of an information

channel is influenced by three

characteristics one the ability to

handle multiple hues simultaneously two

the ability to facilitate rapid two-way

feedback and three the ability to

establish a personal focus for the

communication face-to-face discussion is


the richest medium because it permits

direct experience multiple information

queues and immediate feedback and a

personal focus face-to-face discussions

facilitate the assimilation of broad

queues and deep emotional understanding

of the situation communicating

effectively is a critical skill for

leaders leaders are communication

champions who inspire and unite people

around a common sense of purpose and

identity they lead strategic

conversations that get people talking

across boundaries about the vision key

strategic themes and the values that can

help the group or organization achieve

desired outcomes
